Football at the grass roots in a comparative European and global perspective
Though football increasingly attracts the attention of cultural historians, sociologists and social scientists more generally, research to date has focused largely on the elite professional game. Those who participate at lower levels – from non-elite amateur level to street football – have been largely neglected.
Against this backdrop, the workshop will bring together experts from various European countries with a mutual interest in grass-roots football. The intention is to establish a framework of discussion that will faciliate and encourage international and interdisciplinary co-operation and innovative approach more generally.
The workshop is open to academics, students and people generally interested.
